Let’s Hope This Doesn’t Wind Up on the Cutting Room Floor!

The good news is that the new reboot of the venerable Nightmare on Elm Street franchise is filming in Mr Skin’s backyard.

The better news is that we can now confirm that the movie will have nudity, since the official website is putting out a call for “special” extras.

The original film only had brief glimpses of topless Heather Langenkamp’s naked knockers and a body double’s tits and ass, but (t)it looks like this one is going to feature an old-fashioned topless pool party!

Nightmare? This is the dream!

Requiem for a Heavy Breather: Bill Landis, 1959-2008

Sleazoid Express creator Bill Landis was a pioneering publisher who really did change the world (for the better), an endlessly imaginative writer, a performer in hardcore films during theatrical porn’s Golden Age and a projectionist who worked Times Square’s glorious toilet-bowl theaters.

At the same time, Bill Landis was also a miserable junkie, a hyper-paranoid head-case, and a world-class pain-in-the-ass.

And now Bill Landis is dead, at age 49, from a heart attack.

I miss him already. And I always will. Read all about it after the jump.

Last night was the second skincarnation of Mr. Skin's Skintastic Trivia Challenge: The Hollywood Sex & Nudity Game at Junior's bar on Maxwell Street here in Chicago, and it couldn't have gone better (without breaking any laws)! Radio personality and friend-of-Skin Pete McMurray co-hosted, and our editorial director, Mike McPadden, provided off-color commentary from the sidelines. We had about half a dozen teams of people, some a little slicker than others, but all displaying the fortitude to match their knowledge of celebrity nudity against the veritable T&A-lmanac that is the mind of Mr. Skin.

In three rounds of ten increasingly "hard" questions, the teams competed to give the most correct answers in the categories of "The Nudie Nineties"", "Nudity in Sports Movies", and "Teen Sex Comedies." We also had two rounds of individual competition in which contestants identified phony funbags in "Real or No Real" and guessed which actresses have shown skin in "Has She Ever?" (Mary Poppins? Yes! "Weezie Jefferson? No.) Throughout the night we gave away a couple of 6-month subscriptions to MrSkin.com, a Skintastic Video Guide, one of our baseball jerseys and a whole lot of hats, T-shirts, Skin-heads, and Mr. Skin tissues, which were used up pretty promptly in the bathroom as our "Top 69 Nude Scenes of All Time" video played continuously on the bars flat screen TVs.

So if you think you know in what movie Marsha Brady bared her bumps, or who showed her banana boats in Slapshot!, then come out to our next Trivia Challenge and give it your best money shot!
